Business Services
Get the information you need to hire with confidence.
Business service organizations rely heavily on reputation so they require qualified, competent professionals who can drive continued growth.
As a business services company, your success depends on your reputation for superior service. As ambassadors of your company’s brand, your employees must be highly qualified and able to perform specialized job functions for all of your clients.
Even if your team meets these expectations, your company still brings an element of risk to every business partnership.
Your employees may be operating at your client’s place of business, accessing confidential information, and they may have to make sensitive business decisions that require exceptional judgement.
Utilizing Precise Hire for background screening services demonstrates that you are committed to hiring people with integrity, which will only reinforce your clients’ confidence.
Our extensive suite of background screening services combined with our compliance expertise will greatly reduce your exposure to risk with all of your new hires, enabling you to continuously deliver the highest quality service that your clients deserve and depend on.
Some key searches that many of our business services clients utilize include:
SSN Trace & Address History Search: This search will verify your applicant’s identity and discover all known residential addresses on record with the three major credit bureaus.
County Criminal Search: With this search, we will dispatch a researcher to the county courthouse in the county or counties where the person has lived during the past 7 years to discover any criminal records that may be on file. This search will reveal any felony or misdemeanor criminal records.
Nationwide Criminal Database Search: This is an electronic search of a public database that contains 600 million records nationwide. It can help reveal if the applicant has committed any felony or misdemeanor crimes outside their counties of residence.The database includes multiple data sets, such as local felony and misdemeanors, terrorist watch lists, department of corrections and many others.
Information contained in a database is comprised of public records, which are frequently shared among different agencies, and sometimes accidentally manipulated. This means the Nationwide Criminal Database Search should never be relied upon for a hiring decision. It should only be used as a pre-screening tool. Any records discovered in a Nationwide Criminal Database search should be independently verified by accessing the record on file in the court of original jurisdiction.

These fees are passed straight through to our client.

The manufacturing industry is always striving for rapid, consistent production with maximum quality. This can present many challenges when workers are under pressure to perform at high levels, often times while operating complex equipment and systems. In any manufacturing facility, your employees must be focused on details, aware of their surroundings, and fully qualified to perform the duties of their job.

With Precise Hire’s affordable screening solutions, you can provide a safe environment for your stakeholders, while maintaining and promoting your reputation for safety.
Words of caution. There are a handful of unscrupulous outfits posing as “real background screening companies” that push very cheap background checks. These background checks come from a nationwide or statewide database. Because the information is not well-maintained or frequently updated, any criminal records should never be relied upon for a hiring decision.
This data should only be used as a pre-screening tool and any criminal records should be verified at the court of original jurisdiction.
Even worse, because the source of information is a public records database, it’s very possible that the database does not contain a person’s criminal record.
Why?
Because there are no laws or regulations requiring the courts to upload criminal records to a public database.
If your organization relies on a database search alone, you are placing your stakeholders at serious risk.
It takes just one person to be victimized by an employee or volunteer to seriously damage your organization’s reputation and destroy everything you have worked for.
With Precise Hire as your background screening partner, you can access quality information at affordable pricing to minimize risk while maximizing certainty in your hiring process.

Staffing Services
Accelerate placement with Rapid Hire technology
Getting people on a job site quickly is key to success for every staffing company and managing cost is equally important. We offer reliable information with rapid turnaround at affordable prices.
Unfortunately, there are some unscrupulous outfits posing as “real background screening companies” and they have persuaded many in the staffing industry to purchase garbage data.
The background checks in question come from a nationwide or statewide criminal database. Because the information is not well-maintained nor frequently updated, any criminal records discovered in one of these databases should never be relied upon for a hiring decision.
At best, this data should only be used as a pre-screening tool and any criminal records should be verified at the court of original jurisdiction.
Even worse, because the source of information is a public records database, it’s very possible that the database is actually missing criminal records.
Why?
Because there are no laws or regulations requiring the courts to upload criminal records to a public database.
We know of many staffing companies where a candidate has disclosed a felony crime but it did not show up on a criminal database search. Were it not for the candidate’s disclosure, the staffing company would have sent a dangerous felon to a job site.
If your organization relies on a database search alone, you are placing your clients at serious risk, and placing your own company at risk for lost business and lawsuits as well.
We offer affordable screening solutions that provide quality information with rapid turnaround. We can learn about your needs and suggest a customized screening package that gets you the information you need without breaking the bank.
Still… if the price is too high for your budget, you can always use our hire-on-demand service, where your applicants register for an account with us, order a background check to your specifications, and the results are transmitted to you via email.
With Precise Hire as your background screening partner, you can access the information you need, when you need it, to minimize risk while maximizing certainty in your hiring process.
